The 12-year-old son of two Oakland police officers accidentally shot himself in the arm at his Danville home, authorities said Friday.

The shooting happened at a home near Camino Tassajara and Sycamore Valley Road about 4:50 p.m. Tuesday.

A woman who works as an Oakland police officer called 911, saying her 12-year-old son had "accidentally shot himself in the arm."

"RP's (reporting party) an off-duty officer," a dispatcher told responding officers, according to a recording of the incident as captured by Broadcastify.com, a website that provides radio feeds of police, fire and emergency service broadcasts. "She has secured the gun. Son's 12 years of age. It's an accidental shooting. He's awake and breathing."
